Man accused of stealing clothes shows up in court naked (Photo)

There was a dramatic scene at a Kenyan Court when a man accused of stealing clothes appeared in court naked.
The suspect, 32-year-old Kenyan, Alex Jana Mugo was arrested on Sunday after he was caught with stolen clothes.

Appearing before Resident Magistrate Jean Ndegeriof Embu Law Courts
on Monday, he told a stunned courtroom that his clothes were taken away
after being stripped naked by officers at Embu Police Station where he
was detained after his arrest, reports Citizen TV.
It was also heard in court that the clothes the accused was wearing
on the day of his arrest were part of those he allegedly stole and was
therefore forced to remove them so that they could be used as an
exhibit.
He was reportedly offered other clothes to put on, but he declined, insisting that he would only accept the confiscated clothes.
Mugo, who was brought to court with only a piece of clothing covering
his private parts, had attempted to strip naked in the courtroom in
front of the lady magistrate.
According to Citizen TV, he did not take a plea after the prosecution
applied for the matter to be postponed since the accused was deemed
inappropriately dressed.
